England rugby star honoured with Barbie doll

England women's rugby star Ellie Kildunne has been honoured with her very own Barbie doll.

The doll captures several of the rugby player's key features, including her nose ring and trademark curly hair.

It even has tiny replicas of the same custom boots Ellie wore during the Red Roses' triumphant World Cup run.

England lifted the trophy on home soil after a 33-13 victory against Canada in front of more than 80,000 fans at the Allianz Stadium.

It marks the third time the Red Roses have been crowned World Cup champions.

Ellie's Barbie celebrates how a new generation of female rugby players have been left inspired following the competition.

"It's so cool and the hair's spot on as well," Ellie said after the grand unveiling of her doll.

"It's really cool because growing up I didn't necessarily play with Barbies, but I think that's because none of the Barbies looked liked me.

"Having a Barbie doll that looks like that is very inspiring to see. It's representation and for young girls and boys to be able to see that there's women in the sport that have a Barbie doll, they can be inspired to be like us."

Three other rugby stars have also been celebrated with Barbie creations.

US rugby star Ilona Maher, France's Nassira Konde and Portia Woodman-Wickliffe of New Zealand have also been honoured with their own dolls.
